action
The Augustinian monk Martin Luther pursued an extremely strict monastic life and surpassed his fellow brothers in his asceticism . Years later he settled down. When he found out one day that the Dominican Tetzel was selling church indulgences in nearby Jüterbog , he published 95 theses against this practice. But the official church does not agree with his statements and Luther finally has to answer at the Reichstag in Worms . But Luther persevered and stood by his theses. Soon after, there are peasant uprisings . Luther distances himself from the peasants, some of whom refer to him. After the failed uprising, some of Luther's peasants are disappointed and turn away from him.
